My so-called life
Username & diary title: (3/10) Av8rdaughter - I'm just going by a play on words here, but it sounds like "aviater's daughter" in my head, so I'm making an assumption, as the rest of the world does when they view your name. It is slightly interesting, but also kind of childish and mediocre. I doubt I would click on it if it was listed. My so-called life - Nice use of mid-90's pop culture, but I don't like it. Be original, don't rip off some boring show about adolescents.
First Impression: (2/20) My god, it's diaryland. Great. You're getting fucked in the layout department. Nothing more to say.
Layout: (5/40) It's a boring diaryland layout. It sucks. It's uninteresting, plain, and doesn't represent you in any way. The only reason I'm giving you a 5 is because I like the color pink and I'm assuming you do as well since you choose this color over the blue or orange. Hurrah for you.
Contact: (0/5) Apparently none, unless I travel back to your profile just to leave you a note, which most people aren't going to do. Even the "contact me" link on the simple layout doesn't work. What the hell? This is a reviewer's nightmare.
Extras: (0/10) None.
Am I Linked: (0/5) Without a doubt, no fucking way.
Content: (15/55) I tried really hard to find substance and meaning in your writing. I really did. I found a few entries that were on the edge of being emotional, but just hit a downfall. Personally, I don't like your writing. No sugarcoating this at all, hon. No amount of reading, re-reading, or trying to like it is going to help. It's just pointless, mindless, obnoxious teenage ramblings about friends, school, and guys.You breech out occasionally and talk about liking "Gordo" or something that's been going on with your friends, but that's about as deep as you get. Not saying that you have to write emotional,drawn out entries everyday, but I'm sure you have a lot more going on in your head than you speak about in your diary. I hope to god you do, because if you don't, the world isn't ready for you. I just find it hard to grasp that we're the same (or almost the same) age, yet we're completely different. You're on a completely different wavelength than me. I just think you're diary is intended for your friends and only your friends. You even leave personal messages to them in the middle of entries or dedicate entries to them as notes. While they might find it oh, so sweet and heart melting, I find it tedious. The entries that weren't to/for your friends were mostly (long) essay length daylogs about your friends and other such things. And the rest... lyrics or poems. I just can't get into your writing no matter how much I try to force myself. I'm going with us being so different from the other as the reason, but only because I don't want to blantantly tell you your life isn't as interesting as you try to make it sound. Lastly, you randomly capitalize words and letters beginning a sentence. I found this especially annoying, because I'm a stickler for stuff like that. What's the deal with that anyway?
Favorite Entries: (0/25) Nothing stuck out at all. I'm sorry.
Personality: Giddy. Hyper. Friendly. Slightly Annoying. Confused. Teenage(d). Monotonous. Popular. Happy
Quotes:
Casey once said that I don't deserve him, because I hurt to many people. I don't know if she was joking around or what when she said it, but it's been stuck in the back of my mind forever..I liked that, because people don't realize how much their words stick with someone sometimes, no matter how harmless they are.
Your song: Hilary Duff - So Yesterday. A - you remind me of Hilary Duff. B - You seem like you have some things you want to keep in your past.
Your new name: Nicole. You just have a "Nicole-ish" vibe about you. I was going to say Jessica, but your personality reminds me of a no-sto-good friend of mine named, Nicole. Viola.
You should be: A banker lady. They have names, but they're not important right now. I just imagine you calling me with that squeaky little voice telling me that my house is being repossessed or something.
You remind me of: A cheerleader. No futher explaining needed.
Comments: Get some depth, stop putting lyrics in place of your words, grow up just a wee bit and you might find some talent buried under all those years of make-up, love. I am the Simon of Teen-Review. Hated, yet so loved. (NOT!)
Would I Come Back: (20/20) Actually, yes. Only to see how bad you spoke of me after reading the review.
Total Score: 40/190
